Move them to defs-default.
Allow for per-user defs files to use . defs-default in them. I do this
by temporarly changing the path when evaluating the defs file, adding
the directory where the defs file lives. So, you can do this in your
personal defs file, whic saves on a lot of typing!
. defs-default
TBOPSEMAIL=stoller@flux.utah.edu
TBLOGSEMAIL=stoller@flux.utah.edu
blah
blah
blah
I also changed all of the *local* defs file to use the above format.
